Skin texture is very hard it seems. I’m often developing raw photos and the noise reduction often remove skin texture too much. Especially when I was editing photos of our newborn, there is just so much little details that easily gets lost in noise reduction (or compression) that are very clearly visible to the eye.
Did a pretty terrible job.
I.e. at 10k, you should see some skin structure but instead it was just color banding, eyelids had non-existing wrinkles added though etc.
